    I think that is correct,
    if I understand correctly...an 006 allows you to produce ammo for sale to others. it does not allow you to produce AP and Incendiary. You would need the additional 007 to make those but your sales are limited to LEO and Military only under ITAR.

    If he has an 007 then he is in violation.

    not certain...but you can produce either for your own consumption without violating Federal Law

    FROM THE ATF
    This is what the ATF says
    https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/license-required-engage-business-selling-small-arms-ammunition
    Is a license required to engage in the business of selling small arms ammunition?

    No. A license is not required for a dealer in ammunition only. However a license is required to manufacture or import ammunition.

    [18 U.S.C. 922 (a)(1)(B); 27 CFR 478.41]]

    See at: https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/docs-0/download

    specifically, the definition of “armor piercing ammunition” in 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(17)(B) provides:
    (B)
    The term “armor piercing ammunition” means

    (i) a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and
    which is constructed entirely (excluding the presence of traces of other
    substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, st
    eel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper or depleted uranium; or
    (ii)
    a full jacketed projectile larger than .22 caliber designed and intended
    for use in a handgun and whose jacket has a weight of more than 25
    percent of the total weight of the projectile.

    Hmmm, did he manufacture bullets or hand load ammo? This article is so full of garbage it's nuts.

    I"d be interested in knowing what law was broken? Is it illegal to load incendiary or steel core ammo? Or is illegal to sell it in NV? I'm wondering what law was broken here? I thought you could load up all the tracer or steel core rounds you want? Was it the sell of them that broke the law? Just trying to find out!

    And the term " armor-piercing bullets" is basically any rifle round for the most part depending on the "armor." But I didn't know tracer ammo was "armor piercing."

    Well, I know it is illegal to reload and sell ANY ammunition without a license to do so. I almost bet there is also some liability laws he may have violated, like was he insured to manufacture ammo? And the US Code on armor piercing ammo is funny. It is not illegal to buy or have it. But it IS illegal for anybody to SELL it to you. Try to figure out what lawyers/lawmakers came up with that one.
